Chapter 30

"Good night."

Jiang Shou forced himself to take two steps forward, and when he was about to reach the corner of the corridor, he turned his head again.

Zhuo Shuang was still standing where she was, with one hand in her pocket, staring at him steadily, as if she was determined to watch him leave.

It was obviously a dangerous area that could be discovered at any time, but he didn't want to end it so soon.

He held down his trembling hand, otherwise he would have opened the door to find this person in the next second.

"Don't you want to go home?" Zhuo Shuang mouthed to him.

His first reaction was to shake his head, and then nodded hastily.

"Do you want it or not?" Zhuo Shuang continued to ask.

The kissed lips still had the touch of this person, and he shook his head.He didn't know that what happened just now destroyed all his rational thinking, making him unable to think about such a trivial matter.

"If you look at me like that again, I'll really kiss you again, and it won't be so easy to fool this time."

Zhuo Shuang's eyes were bright, and Jiang Shou's familiar, careless smile hung on the corner of her mouth.

Even after he said that, Jiang Shou still didn't look away.

He wanted to look at this man, and only this man.

Zhuo Shuang took a step forward.

What interrupted them was the second call from Jiang Suqing.

"Answer the phone." Zhuo Shuang retreated to a safe distance.

Jiang Shou hung up the phone in a panic, and accidentally pressed the speakerphone, Jiang Suqing's voice suddenly filled the empty corridor.

"Aren't you here yet?" She sounded impatient, "You only said that you would come back a little later, but you didn't say that it would be so late. Look at what time it is now. It's ten o'clock. How can any student be so late? Are you still outside? If you don’t come back, don’t go out again, do you hear me?”

The call quickly returned to the earpiece state, but the first half may have been heard by that person.

"I..." He stammered, "I'm downstairs."

She paused, not as aggressive as before, but not much better, "What are you doing answering the phone when you're almost there? Come up quickly, the door is open for you."

He pressed the phone and returned to the boring reality in a flash.

Zhuo Shuang pointed upstairs, "If you don't go back, she might really come out to look for you."

The two cannot be allowed to meet.

He didn't care about anything else, and went upstairs as fast as he could in his life.

The door of room 602 was ajar, he pushed it open and walked in cautiously.

"came back?"

"Ah."

The overhead light in the entrance was dimmed. He took off his sneakers and put on the slippers next to the cabinet, and walked towards the light source.

Jiang Suqing waited in the living room for him to come back, she just took a shower, her hair was still slightly damp.

"Finally, I'm back. What can I have for dinner... Wait, you haven't had a drink?"

Seeing his flushed cheeks, Jiang Suqing asked suspiciously.

As soon as he thought of this, certain images immediately revived in his mind, and he felt that his cheeks were burning hot again.

His eyes were a little evasive, and he deliberately didn't look into Jiang Suqing's eyes, "No, I ran up."

She didn't suspect him, thought he was tired from going upstairs, and told him to remember to exercise well, not to shut himself in the house all day without seeing the sun, like a dead man.

"I didn't cook your meal at night, but I made pork ribs soup. If you want to drink it, it's in the kitchen. If you don't drink it, it will be cold later. Remember to put it in the refrigerator. There is cabbage in the refrigerator. You can just crack an egg and cook some noodles at noon tomorrow." Eat, I will come back to cook in the evening depending on the situation. I will go to sleep, and you should go back to your room early after finishing your work. You have studied so hard, so take a good rest tomorrow."

She is so busy with work, it is already the limit to be able to spare time to wait for him to go home, no more can be done.

"mom."

Seeing that she is about to get out of her

Leaving out of sight, he hurriedly called her to stop.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Suqing didn't turn her head, "Hurry up, I'm so sleepy I can't even open my eyes."

"I..." He looked at her back and forgot what he wanted to say for a moment.

"Don't dawdle." Jiang Suqing was a little impatient.

He looked down and saw his own reflection on the tiles, "It's nothing, I made a mistake. Good night."

She didn't reply to him, but yawned a long time, then pulled on her slippers and went back to the room.

He looked at the place where her back disappeared, thinking that he must be crazy.

He actually wanted to ask about the man who cheated on her.

·

When taking a shower, Jiangchou specially looked at his back and arms in the mirror.

The bruise left by Xie Shun has long since faded away, but the memory of the pain is still vivid and cannot be erased no matter what.

——Fortunately Zhuo Shuang didn't know.

If Zhuo Shuang knew the truth of that day, how would he react?

After the hot water washed down, he closed his eyes, and a trace of indescribable happiness came to his mind.Fortunately, Zhuo Shuang didn't know that he actually had such an unbearable side.

After taking a shower, he changed into loose and soft home clothes and returned to his room.

Jiang Suqing moved faster than he thought, and installed a new table and a new desk lamp for him while he was away during the day.

He sat by the bed, put down the folding table, opened the homework book, and wanted to do some homework before going to bed.

He didn't feel it when he was with Zhuo Shuang, but now that he was alone, he felt that he was going to be drowned by the sound of his own heartbeat.

He put down his pen dejectedly, fell down on the bed, pulled up the quilt to cover his face, all he could think about was what happened downstairs just now.

Zhuo Shuang liked him, and he also liked Zhuo Shuang.Zhuo Shuang confessed to him, and he accepted.They are now closer lovers than friends.

It was such a simple matter, but when he thought of Jiang Suqing's tired and sleepy face, he suddenly felt so guilty that he couldn't help himself.

gay.The word came to his mind.

He is not unfamiliar with this term. His home is not located in the school district, and the lottery in the city did not come to him. However, the tuition fee of [-] to [-] yuan for a semester in a private junior high school is prohibitive, so he can only study in the not very good one near his home Public secondary school.

In the mixed school, violence and bullying happened in many hidden corners, and the reasons were all kinds of strange: too good academic performance, too bad academic performance, accidentally bumped into someone's desk while walking with whoever he liked...and liking men Perversion, homosexuality.

Zhuo Shuang and he are both boys, no matter how nice they say, no matter how pure love and love the reason is, they are gay together.

Jiang Suqing didn't work so hard to make him a gay.

He knew it was like this, but he couldn't help it, he couldn't refuse Zhuo Shuang, and the moment Zhuo Shuang said he liked him, he was defeated.

And he lied to her.He didn't even have the courage to tell her Zhuo Shuang's real name.

Why is this person called Zhuo Shuang?Why the same name as the name in that nightmare.

——Even the same age, is it really just the same name?Haven't you ever thought about what if he really is that person?

The moment the guilt reached its peak, the uneasiness that had been suppressed in his heart since the day of the spring outing suddenly revived.

--You will regret this.

A thin voice spoke in his mind.He smacked his temple hard, pushing it out.

He doesn't need to think about this possibility, he won't regret it, his brother Zhuo must not be that person, they won't go that far, so he doesn't need to worry about it in advance.

His cell phone rang, and the caller was still Zhuo Shuang—not many people knew his phone number, and even fewer would call him specifically.

Without even thinking about it, he picked up the phone.

"Brother Zhuo."

Zhuo Shuang's voice was clearer than before, without the noisy electric current.

"Are you asleep?"

"No."

"Don't you go to bed early today?"

Knowing that Zhuo Shuang deliberately made fun of him with what happened that day, he didn't say anything, but the haze in his heart dissipated most of the time.

"What about you? Where are you now?"

"I wanted to go back and find Old Wei and the others."

The background sound from Zhuo Shuang's side was very quiet, and it was hard to tell where he was.

"Originally?" He keenly sensed something was wrong.

"Well, if I say I'm still downstairs at your house, will you think I'm stupid?"

He was so frightened that he almost couldn't hold the phone, and he was about to jump up and open the curtain to look down.

"Fool, don't look, I'm on my way home." Zhuo Shuang stopped him in good time, "I don't even know which house you live in, which window you should look at, what are you doing there."

He couldn't help laughing.

Sure enough, this was like the brother Zhuo he knew.

"what are you doing now?"

"Lying in bed, doing nothing."

"Didn't you do your homework?"

"No, I can't write at all."

Zhuo Shuang paused, "Are you thinking of me?"

He closed his eyes, "...Think about it."

"I miss you too."

The words were very nasty at first, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

"Brother Zhuo, I still can't believe it, these are all true."

"I am, that's why I'm going to call you to make sure you've really become my boyfriend."

"Well, it's true."

What Zhuo Shuang said again, he didn't hear clearly.

At some point, he fell asleep.

He knew he was dreaming, but he just couldn't wake up.He dreamed about things from his childhood, some unpleasant things.

He was a child without a father, a disgraced illegitimate child, and there was a boy in his class who lived on the same street as him, and deliberately made his family affairs known to everyone because he was not pleasing to the eye.

This is enough to make him unable to lift his head in class for a long time.

Once when the school had to fill in the parent contact form, the new head teacher who was transferred because the predecessor was sick said in an extremely businesslike manner, "Be sure to write your parents' names, and you will be responsible for the consequences if you fill in the wrong ones."

He was frightened when he wanted to write the names of his grandparents, and he dared not write for a long time.

This very sarcastic woman came over and knocked on his table, "Why don't you fill it in, don't you have a father and a mother? You don't even know the name of the person who gave birth to you. You really are..."

She didn't finish the sentence, but many people knew how to fill the gap.

"Hurry up and write, it's up to you."

In the column of mother, he filled in the three words Jiang Suqing. In the column of father, he hesitated for a long time, and finally wrote down the taboo name.

Zhuo Shuang.Father, Zhuo Shuang.

With the last stroke, the picture suddenly changed, the surroundings were pitch black, and he was pushed hard by a woman.

"Who told you this name?" Jiang Suqing's sharp question almost pierced his eardrums, "If you think about him so much, get the hell out of my house, go find him, and live with him!"

She cried and cursed at the same time, grandpa and grandma sighed silently, no one came up to persuade her.

He lowered his head, and all he could see was his own small palm.How old is he at this time?eight years old?Or only seven years old?He doesn't remember.

Children who do something wrong will be punished.

"You unfamiliar white-eyed wolf, you don't have my mother if you recognize him as a father. I gave birth to you and raised you, but you can't match that man who patted his ass and ran away?!"

When he woke up again, it was already dawn outside.

He picked up the mobile phone next to him, recalling the last thing he said to Zhuo Shuang last night.

It seemed to be some unnutritious nonsense, his eyes froze somewhere, and his whole body froze.

The call with Zhuo Shuang was recorded for nearly four hours, which meant that Zhuo Shuang had been listening to him to sleep.

Holding the phone in his arms, he couldn't tell what was going on in his heart.

On a new day, he opened the window. Today is a very bright and sunny day, and there is no sign that the weather forecast said that there will be heavy rain.

Across the old building opposite, he looked at the distant sky.

Gray haze clouds slowly gathered at the end of the horizon he could not see.
